    The Rookie list is going to be an interesting mix. That book Roosey read a few years ago and the research he did on it appears to have taken over. They really do think outside the square to try to pick up good players.

    Orreal anyone!

    I thought a gymnast would be more appropriate. We could watch him do a somersault with Pyke!

    If these rookies all come up trumps, we will have an awesome team in about 2 years.

    That looked pretty atheletic to me for a bloke his height. Certainly smacks of a centre half back to me.

    ooooohhhhh. Mind you just think what his opposition was. Not a single Macca, Lovett, Ablett, Kerr in sight. Will reserve judgement until 2009 first practice match. Big unit though (she said, rubbing her hands together in anticipation).

    Pity he won't be able to kick, handball or mark, or understand the tactical aspects of the game. At least he will be able to run and tackle though...
